Well I'll be a monkey's uncle!
Well done Amanda.
This is an extremely high quality match with very little separating the two players!

Some of the winners from both players have been mind-blowing. :)
 
Amanda is on fire.
Quick bring out the hoses!
Her shoes are on fire. :)

She's up 4-1 in the 3rd.
Could this be her moment to take the match and the final?
 
So, into the 2025 USO final were reached by female tennis players who had experienced bitter disappointments at previous Grand Slams this season: Sabalenka lost the AO & RG finals; Anisimovova caught two bagels in the Wimbledon final. I would say Aryna will be under more pressure out of the two, as losing 3 GS finals in one season is painful and it speaks negatively about her mental resilience.

Just think the failure story will be more interesting than the success story this time.

Maybe with Sabalenka, but not sure how anyone could call Anisimova a failure for losing 2 straight finals since absolutely no one picked her to make the finals of either of these majors. She began the year ranked 36. A year ago she lost in qualies at Wimbledon and needed a wildcard to get into the USO.

2 years ago many thought she may never return to tour after her mental health break. This a remarkable comeback any way you slice it, no matter what happens Saturday.

Some Talk Tennis Warehouse members want to see players fail--especially Sabalenka, a woman they hate to dangerous degrees.

Well, the WTA has been stronger than the one-note ATP for many years. If not for Sinner and couple players who have not broken through at the majors yet, it would close to unwatchable.

Losing three slam finals in a single year, without winning the fourth slam (like Evert and Henin), is pretty rare. Venus did it in 2002. Sanchez Vicario did it in 1995. Connors famously did it in 1975, losing all the slams he had won in 1974. Doris Hart did it in 1953, the year Maureen Connolly won the Grand Slam. Are there others?
 
A couple of good matches last night (finally), and Anisimova was really on fire in that 3rd set. She was ripping balls into corners, and barely missing. If she can reproduce that, nobody in the WTA can stop her.

IF...

I think you’ve compiled that list well!

What’s worse is, if Sabalenka does lose a 3rd slam final this year, she’ll still comfortably be #1. And with the WTA Finals gap the way it is right now, she will likely finish 2025 as year end #1.

Without a slam.

Meanwhile Iga has a slam and a Masters.

Still better than these slamless year end #1's:

2000- Hingis made only 1 slam final
2001 - Davenport made no slam finals
2004 - Davenport made no slam finals
2008 - Jankovic made 1 slam final
2010 - Wozniacki made no slam finals
2011 - Wozniacki made no slam finals (and she was #1 all but one week the entire year)
2017 - Halep made 1 slam final(and lost 1R of 2 slams)
 
Anisimova has done remarkably well to recover from the disastrous Wimbledon final and even get her revenge on the player who inflicted it on her.

So we have an American- Belorussian final at the US Open for the 2nd year in a row and 3rd for Slam finals this season. Both players will be hoping to convert at last with Sabalenka looking for her 3rd Slam singles title and Anisimova looking for her maiden Slam and to be the 2nd American to triumph at Flushing Meadows since Gauff in 2023.
 
Anyone knows who are the three people commentating at ESPN2 now for the Women's Doubles Final? I think there are 3 ppl - Pam Shriver (?), another woman, and a guy (not Fowler).
 
The seeded #1 Siniakova/Townsend is getting slightly outplayed in the first set. Down at 2-5 at some point. Finally catching up on-serve at 4-5.

Poor choice of words perhaps. I would say "lack of success in the final".

Any way you slice it, it's bound to be extra frustrating for either player if they lose, and because I'm not especially invested in either of them I find the unsuccessful outcomes more interesting (as in: "wow, 3 Slam final losses in one year, that's tough!" or "wow, 2 Slam final losses in succession, how unfortunate!") than any of the successful outcomes.

Although I must say I was an Anisimova fan when she first broke through as a 17-year-old, so I'll probably be rooting for her (and for the first of the two amusing outcomes I listed).

Dabrowski/Routliffe seems to have completely disrupted Townsend/Siniakova's rhythm, leading now at 3-0. Dabrowski/Routliffe was throwing a lot of mid-court lobs returns that Townsend dunked to the net (and she usually doesn't miss her overheads) while approaching the net. Then, when they're on the net, they're sooo close on the net while Townsend/Siniakova rarely lobbed them - only at the end of set 1 did they start mixing that a little bit.

But it's anything but over with these doubles, momentums can shift any time.

Momentum shift happening as we speak.
Let's see what Siniakova/Townsend can do here... I would favour them in a third set.

Amanda is the real deal.
She has been for quite some time now actually. But she's really started to assert herself on tour the past few months.

It is no fluke that she has reached the final of the last two slams.

Just think of who she has taken out recently:

Osaka (no slouch, 4 singles slams)
Swiatek (no slouch, 6 singles slams)
Sabalenka (no slouch, 3 singles slams)

In the final tomorrow, I feel Amanda has a very good chance of winning.

As long as she keeps her cool and plays at the same level as she did against Osaka yesterday she can easily claim the title.

You can't ignore that she lost weight and got fitter. That takes discipline.
